I've not had time to post to my Blog over the last two months. I will
try to rectify the matter forthwith. I got my feedback for the MAVA Unit 1 back
in February. As I predicted I received the Grades for research essay and
overall contribution I was expecting. This did not upset as I realised that my
essay was constrained by the 3000 words limit and I wrote a shit account of the
essence of this form of design communication. I did however re learn the craft
of creating an academic piece of writing and will write some more about the
subject Title Sequence Design after I graduate in September.
On this course I deliberately attempted things I hadn't tried before
and this has been problematic but a necessary factor for my ambition to express
myself using moving image and sound design. I will overcome these limitations
and have work to be proud of and that is fit for purpose.
After the useful feedback on my work I’ve gone back to my process and tired
to craft a story out of the visual elements. I have been manipulating imagery using
motion software and that old staple actual drawing. Yes I can actually draw
George Hardie! I am working on a title sequence that I have divided into three
'Acts' to help me focus on exactly what it is I want to let my audience know.
The Sequence is designed to introduce a series of fictional characters
and the world they inhabit.
• We are first shown the two main characters meeting and embracing
and the title of the story is displayed.
• Then we move a bustling city filled with noise and life, but there is
something dangerous on the horizon.
• Finally using a Police Incident board we see the lives of our 10
main characters revealed through objects and activities that are relevant to
them. We should be left with one main idea in our minds - life is important and
it is under threat.
More anon…
Happy days, you lucky people!
